Quick Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries
Few veggie side dishes are as tasty as roasted Brussels sprouts. And they come with a major bonus: Brussels sprouts are full of rich fiber and good-for-you antioxidants.
Sometimes you’ll find Brussels sprouts that are still on the stalk. These will keep in your refrigerator longer than the sprouts that are already cut off.
You can even keep Brussels sprouts frozen for up to a year if you steam them for three to five minutes before packing in an airtight container.
The sweet tartness of dried cranberries in this dish works especially well with the earthy, roasted flavor of the vegetables. In general, dried cranberries add the perfect punch of color and flavor to any dish. They make for a beautiful presentation, too!
